He was like, why was the show called The Cosby Show, but the main character was named Cliff Huxtable? Other shows didn't do that...

now I'm like, shit, he's right. Other shows named after a real life creator/star kept the main character's name consistent

Seinfeld
Frasier
Roseanne
Everybody Loves Raymond
Everybody Hates Chris
Martin

for the life of me, I can't think of any other show that doesn't fit that formula, except for Cosby.

can you?

Shoutouts to The WB.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

No connection to Frasier Crane


I just realized my #2 reply "The Bob Newhart Show" has the character's first name as "Robert" from which "Bob" is derived (Bob Newhart). So that puts it up there with "Roseanne" and "Martin" and "The Jamie Foxx" show (even though his real name isn't Jamie Foxx - for those who didn't know)

what i meant was when the show name is the same as the main character(s)

still haven't seen anyone post one that breaks that rule so far.

his character is named "Rob Petrie"


How is that not the same as Bill Cosby/Cliff Huxtable

Dick Van Dyke/Rob Petrie

Eve's character on her show wasn't named Eve. Same with Ted Knight. You can kind of disqualify Andy Griffith I guess since he and his character shared the same first name.

i liked that he kept it going but it always seems to me that he stumbles on delivering jokes. maybe thats his thing but on a joke like this it seems it hurt the impact.

the "okay well you guys side with the rapist then" was pretty good.

I'm so out of the loop with SNL, but when I watch it now sometimes the way the material is delivered throws me off. There's no way they're stumbling this much on accident.
